Capitalising on the continued development of Pattaya and the Eastern Seaboard, the Amari Orchid Resort will open a new wing in late 2006, the Ocean Tower. The building, with its distinctive shape, is set to become a notable feature on the Pattaya skyline.

The new wing will give guests the opportunity to experience a dynamic and exciting five star product unlike anything currently in Pattaya. The 300 rooms in the deluxe and junior suite categories will target the corporate sector and discerning clients will be able to enjoy a modern and innovative design with an open bathroom concept, as well as WIFI in every room. The executive floors and their exclusive lounge will provide a boutique hotel, within the wing. Additional facilities will include Essence, an all day dining restaurant, the Ice bar, an additional swimming pool (50 metre lap pool) and a Sivara Spa. The new facilities compliment those offered by the existing four star resort.

In addition a freestanding convention center, will complete the services available to the corporate sector. This is surrounded by water so that it appears to be “floating” on a lake. The convention center houses a 400 square metre pillarless ballroom with a pre-function area. The suite of 5 medium sized meeting rooms in the Ocean Tower can be used as break out rooms or for smaller functions.

Other new developments at the resort include the opening a new specialty restaurant, Mantra. This will set new standards in Pattaya and combine the dining and preparation experience with live cooking stations featuring Japanese, Indian, Asian and Mediterranean cuisine.

The Amari Orchid Resort opened in 1974 and was one of the first hotels in Pattaya to offer accommodation of an international standard. The property has undergone substantial investment in recent years with a complete renovation of all room categories, the lobby and the all day dining restaurant.

Sivara Spas can already be found at Amari properties in Bangkok, Phuket, Samui, Koh Chang and Trang.
